FIGURE 7.
Relative shoot dry weight of lettuce “Rouxai” on day 25 plotted against the relative photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD), relative yield photon flux density (YPFD), relative leaf length, relative PPFD × relative leaf length, and relative YPFD × relative leaf length. Plants were grown under six static lighting treatments delivered by warm-white (WW) or mixed blue (B; 400–500 nm), green (G; 500–600 nm), red (R; 600–700 nm), and far-red (FR; 700–800 nm) light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The number for each LED type is its photon flux density in μmol⋅m–2⋅s–1. Data were averaged for each lighting treatment from two blocks. Linear regression equations, coefficients of determination, and p-values for slopes are provided. The only significant linear relationship occurs between relative YPFD × relative leaf length and relative shoot dry weight (α = 0.05).
